Tyler … I noted where you said that you were vacationing at a nonpermitted (illegal) Airbnb short-term vacation rental up in Palo Colorado Canyon (37000 block) when you learned of the fire, and I was shocked to read that you said you rushed back into the canyon to retrieve your belongings after being out for the evening while all the local residents that live here were evacuating. That to me was a foolish move on your part, and I thank gosh you didn’t cause a collision when you had no reason to be up there to begin with!
Not saying it’s Ok, but Non-permitted Airbnb’s are plentiful. My friends also went in for their belongings.
Not a crime.
Yes I agree Sierra, nonpermitted Airbnbs are plentiful up in that neck of the woods. But my concern is no vacationing tourist had any business going up there to begin with during a fire to “save” his luggage, and by doing so this tourist actually endangered the “lives” of both residents evacuating the area, as well as firefighter!
I do understand your point, Janet.
I would just add, that expressing our frustration with a bit more kindness, may have a stronger impact. How does the saying go,, We get more results with Honey, than with Bitterness? This is something we’re all learning in these trying times!
Inconsiderate,scoff-law hosts are the largest factor in this equation
One last comment, then I’m off ………
No honey, but lots of sugar and spice and everything nice (opening gates, backing up, delivering home deliveries that arrived at the wrong address during the pandemic, giving directions, etc. 🙂 Then providing very good and up to date factual information, which I also heard the County did to no avail. Then someone suggested vinegar, and here we are!
Such a Downer, girl!
Try to enjoy a Beautiful Day!
